Prevalence of viral nervous necrosis (VNN) virus in wild-caught and trash fish in the Philippines
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2011)
Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) caused by piscine nodavirus is a devastating disease affecting mainly marine finfish. In the Philippines, VNN was first reported in hatchery-reared grouper (Epinephelus coioides) broodstock in ...
Efficacy of an inactivated vaccine and nutritional additives against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
(SIAMB, 2011)
Although the immune system of shrimps is not comparable to that of vertebrates, shrimps can acquire protection against pathogenic challenge by building up immunity. In this study, formalin-inactivated virus (FIV) was ...
Phenotypic differences between hatchery-reared and wild mud crabs, Scylla Serrata, and the effects of conditioning
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
Hatchery-reared animals for stock enhancement should be competent to survive and grow at rates equivalent to those of wild conspecifics. However, morphological differences are often observed, and pre-conditioning steps may ...
Taxonomy and phylogeny of Nephroselmis clavistella sp. nov. (Nephroselmidophyceae, Chlorophyta)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
Nephroselmis clavistella D. G. Faria et S. Suda sp. nov. is collected from coastal sand samples from the eastern and western coasts of Okinawa-jima Island, Japan. The description of the cultured strains is based on light ...
Optimization of culture conditions for tissue culture production of young plantlets of carrageenophyte Kappaphycus
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
To improve the production of Kappaphycus plantlets in tissue culture, optimum media concentrations of an Ascophyllum nodosum extract (Acadian Marine Plant Extract Powder, AMPEP), plant growth regulators (PGR), pH–temperature ...
Survival and growth of mud crab, Scylla serrata, juveniles subjected to removal or trimming of chelipeds
(Elsevier, 2011)
The effects of removing or trimming the chelipeds at various molt stages on regeneration, molt interval (MI) and specific growth rate (SGR) were determined in mud crab Scylla serrata. These strategies in combination with ...
Gross and fine anatomy of the respiratory vasculature of the mudskipper, Periophthalmodon schlosseri (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
To illustrate vascular modification accompanying transition from aquatic to amphibious life in gobies, we investigated the respiratory vasculatures of the gills and the bucco-opercular cavities in one of the most ...
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) risk factors associated with shrimp farming practices in polyculture and monoculture farms in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2011)
White spot sydrome virus (WSSV) is one of the most important viral disease of shrimp. Several studies to control the disease have been done. Tank experiments identified WSSV risk factors related to the physico chemical ...
Developmental historicity and saccharide heterotrophy of Schizochytrium sp. OT01: Implication of docosahexaenoic acid production for biotechnological applications
(Rushing Water Publishers, 2011)
Thraustochytrids have been targeted worldwide in search of highly oleaginous strains for industrial applications and newly collected holotypes are described based on life cycle developmental history and saccharide heterotrophy. ...
The ACIAR-BFAR Rinconada Lakes project: Improving fish culture practices for sustainability and profitability
(Ocean Press, 2011)
An ACIAR-funded project was conducted in the Rinconada Lakes area of the Bicol Region in the Philippines to improve fish cage management by fish farmers not only to improve economic returns but also to reduce the negative ...
